UCN acknowledges that we are on the traditional territories and homelands of many Indigenous peoples, in particular the Cree, Dene, Red River Métis, and Oji-Cree. Indigenous peoples have continuously maintained homelands in northern Manitoba since time immemorial. The First Nations in the area that UCN serves entered into treaty relationships with the Crown (within our region these include signatories to treaties 4, 5 - and the treaty 5 adhesion, and treaty 6 - located within the treaty 5 adhesion). The territory has also become home to other Indigenous peoples. We uphold the treaties and collaborate with all Indigenous peoples to share truth, reconciliation, and learning.

UCN is committed to building a workforce representative of the populations we serve. Preference will be given to qualified Indigenous candidates. Only qualified candidates who are legally entitled to work in Canada will be given consideration. Persons with disabilities who require accommodation for any part of the application or hiring process should contact Human Resources.

We thank all applicants for their interest, but only those selected for an interview will be contacted. Application materials, including references, will be handled in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Legislation (Manitoba).
